Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 63: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (17)

Yue Ran hummed at his words.

"Sure, Xue Lu will always be good in your eyes, no matter what she does."

Yue Ran was just teasing the man and never actually thought that Xia Zhan's ears would turn red.

She was quite surprised.

Did Xia Zhan have such an innocent character?

Ah, that's right—he grew up in a rather violent and brutal military camp, in a dog-eat-dog world, and had never met anyone of the opposite sex. So it's not surprising that he likes Xue Lu, a woman full of elegance and tenacity.

"Well, to make Xue Lu fall in love with you, you can use a little detour and clever methods."

Xia Zhan went instantly alert at Yue Ran's words.

"What do you want to do? I will never let you do anything to hurt Xue Lu!"

"I know, I know, this method will definitely not hurt your beloved Xue Lu, alright?"

"Oh... I see."

Yue Ran was getting tired of dealing with Xia Zhan.

This man's obsession with the female protagonist sure runs deep. Annoyingly deep.

Even if Yue Ran didn't really want to deal with this straightforward and dignified general, he was still one of the main protagonists that would require her attention.

At least the strategy to gain his affection is very simple and straightforward.

"Then you should let me talk and listen closely to my words."

Xia Zhan nodded.

"Sister Ran has gone out of the mansion today."

Yue Yu had his schedule packed, and he was busy with his own matters.

Outside the Yue Mansion's gate, where he was about to enter his carriage, he unexpectedly saw Yue Ran getting off hers to walk back into the mansion with a sweet smile on her face.

A little curious, he approached her.

His words were a statement, not a question, but Yue Ran still replied anyway.

"Yes, does Brother Yu have an appointment with someone else today?"

Because of Yue Yu's help and advice in terms of teaching her how to win Ming Chen's heart, Yue Ran finally views this brother of her a little more favorably than before.

Yue Ran looked at the male protagonist and then at the carriage parked outside the Yue Mansion gate.

The male protagonist must be planning to subvert the current dynasty's imperial family to sit on the Dragon Throne and become the Emperor.

"Um," was Yue Yu's curt reply.

When he saw Yue Ran's happy expression, he knew immediately that only Ming Chen could make her smile this way. Knowing how much his little sister cares about the Crown Prince made him feel strangely unhappy.

Under the girl's questioning gaze, Yue Yu quickly walked past her and into his carriage, not wanting to stay any longer beside the girl who was smiling like a flower because of another.

Yue Yu's goal for going out today was to discuss treason with selected ministers and subordinates who wanted a change.

Hours of discussions went by quickly, and soon it was time to return to the Yue Mansion for a rest.

Yue Yu quickly walked into his study room and summoned one of his men.

Facing the man, Yue Yu immediately got to his point.

"Where did the young lady go today?"

"Which young lady does the Master mean?"

The man facing the question was a little confused by the vague wording of his master. There are two young ladies in the Yue Mansion—the first one is the young lady of this Yue Mansion, Yue Ran, and the second one is the young lady's cousin, Ning Ying.

Yue Yu immediately frowned at his words.

"What other young lady could I possibly refer to in Yue Mansion if it's not Yue Ran?"

Yue Yu did not expect that even the servants of the Yue Mansion did not see Yue Ran as the only young lady of the Yue family.

It was extremely ridiculous.

The dignified, legitimate young lady of Yue Mansion was actually put on an equal footing with an orphan from a distant extended family of no standing!

"There is only one young lady in the Yue Mansion, Yue Ran; you better keep that in mind or else."

Yue Yu's voice was calm, but the sharp edge of his tone and the authoritative bearing he carries sent shivers down the man's spine.

The air was tense.

"Yes, yes, the servant will remember this!"

He was terrified.

"In the future, I don't want to hear any other person asking me who the Young Lady of the Yue Mansion is, understand?"

Yue Yu turned his head to look at his entourage standing stiffly on his side.

"Understood."

He then stared at the man kneeling on the ground, smiling gently, and asked, "Do you want me to repeat my first question?"

A bead of sweat dripped down the said man's forehead, down his cheek, and fell from his chin to the wooden floor—a light drop.

"The young lady went to the general's mansion!"

Out of everything, that was an answer that Yue Yu did not expect.

The General's Mansion?

He could see that the kneeling man was not lying to him, and the same kneeling man could never lie to his face.

So Yue Ran actually did go to the General's Mansion and not the Crown Prince's Mansion?

But then…

"Which general?"

"It's General Xia, Xia Zhan."

"Xia Zhan?"

Yue Yu repeated, then narrowed his eyes in thought.

He had never once heard of any relationship between Yue Ran and Xia Zhan.

So what could Yue Ran want from Xia Zhan to actually go to the Xia Mansion to find Xia Zhan?

What was she planning?

What could she be planning?

☼︎ ✵ ☼︎

"Brother Yu, what are you doing here? Why did you suddenly come to find me?"

Yue Ran was startled by Yue Yu's sudden appearance, and her eyes showed a little daze.

It seems that the kitten was easily startled.

So cute.

Yue Ran was just learning embroidery in her yard and practicing it on a white plain handkerchief when she looked up and unexpectedly saw Yue Yu staring at her while leaning against the wall across her with folded hands.
